MARSHALL COUNTY, Alabama -- A Boaz man tried to outrun an Alabama State Trooper on an all-terrain vehicle Wednesday but didn't get far.

Highway Patrol spokesman Curtis Summerville said a trooper stopped the ATV for a traffic violation on Alabama 79. He said the operator, Kenny Junior Sparks, got into a struggle with the trooper then tried to flee on the ATV. The vehicle overturned, and the trooper took the Sparks into custody.

Sparks was treated for minor injuries then transported to the Marshall County Jail. He faces charges of second-degree DUI, resisting arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia and reckless driving. Summerville said more charges are pending as troopers continue to investigate.
